Body Cream/Lotion

Why is it that you often want to have things that are hard to get? Or is it just me? After reading all those raves about Josie Maran’s Argan Oil and tarte’s Maracuja oil, I really wanted to get both. Finally the first one is mine, thanks to my friend from the US.

I have a 15ml one which was only $16 which, in my opinion, is a good price, compared to other oils on the market.
